How to Play

How to play when the

Rule book is in the way

Rip it up, discard

And say that today

I will make my own game

And test it out on

Others who have no idea

And look at me

With a mix of pity

And horror

No, no, that’s not right

You have to behave

Play it this way

There are rules to obey

But these seem arbitrary

And others with more sway

Ignore these rules anyway

Anyway, you guessed it

I’m talking about billionaires

Thoughts

Today’s poem is fairly self explanatory. The picture on the other hand…

One of my students had been extolling the benefits of 3D printers and was trying to convince me to buy one. When I asked him what I could print on it he showed me this. A mega plectrum for when you want to rock out at an extreme level.

Needless to say, I bought a 3d printer.
